is it worth it

Sometimes i look at how things are going in the city, with ministry and i start to get frustrated that nothing is happening, that i haven't seen much happen over the last 3 years. I start to think is it all worth it, or is it time for me to move on, to go some where easier, where the results are more visible.
The last week or so i have been thinking about that.
So yesterday i decided to look back over the years.
As i did, i realized that... God has been working.
Over the last 3 years we have had over 35 people come to cell, at different times... but they were all regular attenders at some point, of which more than 20 were from the community, and not just come and join us from a corps or another church. On top of that 35, we have had people that have only come once or twice.
I also counted up the about of people that i have regular contact with (well as regular as you can, seen at least once a month), and i counted that i had over 25 people that i regularly see and talk to.
I have also seen people move on in their lives, for example - trying to rebuild relationships with family, or getting off the street.
Looking back i Praise God for all that He has done in this city... it may not be fully noticeable when i look at the city as a whole, or look at my cell (which has only had 4 people attend lately), but when i stop and look back, look at the individuals.... God has and is at work... which is awesome... it encourages me, to keep going on for Him.

Is it worth it... Yes it is...
